NOT IN JAP HANDS
MINDANAO AND CEBU
AMERICANS HOLD ON
LONDON, April 16. On Cebu a small American force is holding out against the 12,000 enemy troops which landed there last week. A radio dispatch from Australia says that American and Filipino troops are still resisting both in Mindanao and Cebu. Correspondents who returned to Australia with Brigadier-General Ralph Royce's forces say that in Mindanao the enemy has actually been stopped from penetrating into the interior. The Japanese are holding only a small area at Davao, and apart from this small part the whole of the island of Mindanao is in American hands.
